Potatoes O'Brien has been claimed to originate from a Boston restaurant known as Jerome's and a Manhattan restaurant known as Jack's in the early 1900s. WikipediaNow that I have discovered what a great substitution for potatoes rutabaga is, the possibilities are endless. They are sweet and delicious. Be careful though because they are very easily mistaken for turnips in the grocery store. The first time I wanted to make this recipe we had mistakenly bought turnips and they have a pretty bitter aftertaste. If you do not mind bitter, they are also a good potato substitution and are even lower in carbs than rutabaga.
Ingredients
- 1 Large Rutabaga
- 1 Small Onion
- 2 Large Cloves Garlic, Minced
- 3 Mini Bell Peppers - 1 Orange, 1 Yellow, 1 Red
- Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- (2 Tbs. Peace and Love)
Directions
- If your rutabaga is waxy, peel it. If it is not, leave the peel on. Trim the ends and dice. Also dice onion and peppers. Try to dice all vegetables the same size. This way they will cook evenly.
- Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add rutabaga, onions, peppers, and garlic. Give a nice sprinkling of Salt and Pepper. (Feel free to add extra peace and love in there as well :)
- Continue cooking until all vegetable are cooked all the way through. About 20 minutes. Keep a close eye on them through the entire process as rutabaga can burn quite fast.
Peace, Love, and O'Briens
